Independent Kawatabi Onsen hotels

"Very nice hotel with excellent dinner and breakfast..we were served by a staff name RINA…she is extremely polite, cheerful and very friendly…she even personally wrote a goodbye card to me… that’s was very thoughtful and really appreciate her service. Will definitely stay again if I am going to be in Yamagata…it’s like coming home….thank you once again"

"Facilities in this hotel are really great. We stayed 2 nights and enjoyed Onsen a lot ! Each table in the restaurant has high partitions (like a box). I understand it might be good for families or privacy but it didn’t have good atmosphere. "

"Thank you all of Hotel Onikoube’s staff, have made our wonderful holiday , we are happy and grateful customer will come back again and will refer more relatives and family to visit your Hotel "

"Bathroom too small for us b/c we are TALL"

"Excellent. Front desk was so friendly. Great vibe at the hotel. Very modern looking and friendly atmosphere in the lobby and pizza place downstairs. Central location to shopping. "

"It was as if taking a step back in time. Drifting off to sleep in a dark room with the snow falling through the positioned sliding windows as to not see any of the surrounding modern day buildings, was a marvellous experience that I shall treasure forever. Great amenities, a karoke room, natural onsens, a library and not to mention both a wonderful supper and breakfast, not to mention buffet style. My only regret is not booking another night! And the highlight for me was sitting in the natural onsen, both in daylight and below the night sky with snow falling, yet being warmed by the natural baths watching the world go by. 10/10 for me! Can't recommend enough!"
